Sometimes with all that we do have no control over – it is nice to have a place to be ourselves, censor nothing, withhold nothing and be ultimately in charge of. Bravo to you for sticking up for your place.

Many good wishes to you.

I remember reading this before and it still resonates. I often wonder how I would feel and what I might say if a family member found my blog. (it’s not like the pseudonym protects so much.) I’d like to think I’d be as graceful as you are here, telling it like it is, as usual.

Wow! I love this post because it is like you are reading my mind. I have been trying to figure out what to do because I found out my sis has been reading my blog. She has read every word and has yet to tell me. I have been trying to decide what to do. I need to write something like this.

I really like the letter you wrote. I’ve worried about a couple of people finding my blog, mostly because I love them very much but yet have said things in times of hurt that may make them feel bad. Yet they were things that I needed to release and get out in order to move on. You address this very well.

I like this post as it pretty much defines what it is like to be a blogger, especially one who is in the IF community. Its about support and having the openess to get that support.

Here from Creme…

Great post. Why don’t people realize that we all have uncomplimentary thoughts about them that we don’t share with them? Why is it OK to talk about someone behind their back, but not OK to vent in an anonymous forum? At least in the anonymous (yes, but also very public, I understand) forum, no one is going to be able to judge you personally because they don’t know who you are.

Of course, you can always stop being diplomatic in real life, and see which they prefer!

Fantastic disclaimer! I have a few friends who read my blog but they know about our struggles. I know my brother reads from time to time but if more people find it, then I may need one myself.

I’m here from the creme list… well said! I have family and friends who read my blog, but I’ve been lucky in that they’ve been great when I vent about things (and them).

This post was like a piece of my own life. A while back I made my blog password protected because one of my husband’s biz partners had used information on it to hurt my husband. I lost a lot of readers and felt terribly alone during one of the worst parts of this crap infertility journey. I decided a few months ago to unpublish the really bad posts and make my blog public once again. Well the wife of the asshole has a google reader set up and thus since she is a stay at home mom and has no life, she read all of the archives (since they now appeared as new posts) and called my husband’s best friend (whose the pres. of the company)and said that I was saying things that were bad for the company etc. My husband then called me and I made the choice to unpublish all of the archives. The fact is I have never mentioned anywhere on my blog the name of my husband’s bis, what he does in detail, our last name, or anything that could be viewed as detrimental to the Company. I say Bravo for not censoring yourself. I think there will always be people in our lives who have a hard time swallowing the truth about themselves and their actions.
